Title: The Perfect Lady
The streets were silent all around her as she walked through the night, sweeping her black cloak around her shoulders and lifting up the hood, hiding some of her beautiful, long and curly blonde hair under it. Her black high-heeled boots sounded loud and challenging in the calm and dark silence. She walked fast and seemed to be sure of where she was heading. In her right hand she was holding a little black suitcase.

Could he see it in her clear and dark blue eyes that seemed to glow in the darkness? Did he notice it when he admired her beautiful, soft pearl white skin? Was it her sensual, red lips that convinced him that there was something more to her than the eye could see?

A slight, cold smile was now playing in the corners of her lips, a smile which didn't reach up to her eyes.

She knew that someone was watching her and that someone was hiding in the bushes on the right of her. Her smile widened as she started to walk slower and slower, all her senses concentrating on the young man which was invisible for human eyes but which she could see so clearly. She felt his admiring curiousity that was given to her, she heard his thoughts and the beating of his weak, human heart. The first glint of a cold and ruthless joy appeared in her eyes as she finally stopped, only a few feet away from the bushes.

She smelled his blood.

She remained silent for a moment as she listened to his breathing and at the increasing pace of his heart, as he couldn't take his eyes of her. She also felt his fear of getting seen.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are..." she said in a playful and dark voice as she bat an eyelid, glancing at the bush which the young male was hiding behind.

Silence. The young male held his breath.

The silence was shattered by her light and cheery laughter. "Come out now, I saw you. I promise I won't hurt you..." she smiled playfully and shifted the bag over to the left hand.

Finally the male gave himself known and appeared from his hiding place. A slight blush appeared in his cheeks as he looked at the woman who seemed to hypnotize him with her saphire blue eyes.

"Of course you won't hurt me," he said childishly. "You are so beautiful."

The woman looked at him for a moment and then burst out into laughter. If the male wouldn't have been in an awe of her, he would've heard the cold and satisfied tone in her voice as she winked towards him, inviting him to approach. "Come here," she said in a soothing voice and the man did as she told him to, unable to take his eyes of her. Her gloved hand slid over his face and she smiled as he, despite her charm, automatically pulled away from her touch, not even thinking about it.

Her hand was so cold, he could feel the coldness even if she was wearing a glove. But his mind didn't registrate his reaction; it just slipped away and he didn't give it a thought.

"What's your name, dear?" her blue eyes looked into his and everything else disappeared. Nothing mattered anymore, nothing else but her. He was sinking into blue depths.

"Sebastian," he answered. His voice seemed to be so far and so unlike his usual. But that didn't matter.

"Sebastian," she repeated the world slowly and his gaze slid down to her full red lips. Her smile widened. "That's such a beautiful name," she whispered and now her hand slid over his face and neck, carresing his brown hair. Now her touch didn't seem cold anymore. It felt exciting and he felt the warmth rise in his body.

He tried to say something, to answer her but he found that he was unable to do it. All he could do was stare at her. Usually he would've been incredibly embarrased by his own behaviour, but now it didn't matter. Nothing mattered. She was still here, looking into his eyes and he was filled with adoration and love for her.

He felt that he was pulled towards her. He dared to slide his hand up to her face and to return the gentle gesture, touching her angel-like blonde hair. Everything about her was so amazing.

She smiled but her eyes were filled with hunger. "My sweet little Sebastian..." she whispered and her lips brushed against the soft skin of his neck. His hands were now tangled in her hair as he breathed softly and closed his eyes.

This was the best moment of his life.

Suddenly her smile turned into a cold grin and her blue eyes shifted their color to black. She opened her mouth, revealing her sharp vampire teeth, and dug hungrily into his neck. Her suitcase fell down to the ground.

He gasped. Everything happened so fast, he didn't get to feel any pain. Her teeth dug deeper and deeper into his skin as she drank his blood hungrily and savagly, holding a tight grip around his neck. His body failed him and he would've fallen to the ground if she wouldn't have held him up while she just continued to drink, allured by his blood, feeling it running through her, making her heart beat faster and faster while his was slowing down.

And all the time he held onto her as if she was his own loving mother.

Finally she let go of him and his lifeless body fell down to the street. His eyes were open and they stared up at her, still filled with adoration.

She smiled softly and licked her lips while she picked up her bag. She pulled a hankerchief out of her pocket and wiped the blood elegantly of her mouth. The perfect lady.

"Sometimes you have to pay the price for sneaking up to strangers," she said softly as her eyes turned into normal, human blue again while she put the hankerchief back into her pocket. She stepped carelessly over his body and continued her way down the street as she pulled the hood of the cloak back up, her heels sounding alarmingly and challenging in the silence.
